Nah, key rotation without a centralized trusted third party doesnt scale anyway, doesnt change much the thungs IMO. Still we need this to make our nerdy bitcoiners CEOs sign their shitposting from the iphone keeping the master key airgapped.

zeus is great, but it doesnt cover the same exact use case of phoenix today. With zeus I experienced a lot of force-closures, a lot of failed payments, and lot of problems.
Its more "sovreign" cause you can use whatever lsp and have a full control over your channels. Its also more private.
But its far away from the great UX of phoenix.
Different tradeoffs👌
phoenix is a lightning node. It sacrifice something in term of self sovreignity (mostly due to lsp-lock-in with acinq) but shit like this are unlikely to happens:

tradeoffs.
agree with you. But the narrative seems incentivize crappy solutions as the only way as user of "being self sovrein and run your own node" while phoenix is a self sovrein experience and is an actual node (still lsp-lock-in with acinq, and other tradeoffs).
For example, electrum is cooking something like phoenix but multi lsp/trampolines and is super cool in my opinion.
Hopefully no end-user will need to run something like lnd to zap around to be self-sovrein and have privacy.
in the world there are ~50 million people with a wealth of at least 1 million $.
in the world there are ~1 million addresses with at least 1 bitcoin, so we can really roughly estimate ~1 million wholecoiners (probably today there are far less wholecoiners around).
So in some years, when the world will be enough bitcoinized, 1 bitcoin will buy roughly what today can buy 50 million dolllars (denomination will be far higher cause inflation).
And I'm probably still not bullish enough.
How can tax-evasion be so unpopular, even in bitcoin community. Or should I say CoMmUniSt-y 😓.
I dont respect you if you dont respect tax-evasion. I can understand you cant, but arguing against tax-evasion is a red flag.
Finacial freedom = tax evasion.
Bincoin is an instrument for financial freedom.
Bitcoin is an instrument for tax-evasion.
If you pay taxes you are not doing the bitcoiner the right way.
If you think is correct to pay taxes you are retarded.
Security at the expenses of freedon doesnt exist. Can work with retarded people for limited timeframes, but you become miserable and if you give away your freedom.
So simple, dont be fooled by government, apple, microsoft, google, sometimes grapheneos...
Nothing a good ice cream cant fix.

false. He choose to move to github for update because he has been pissed off of the mozilla review processes. What happened is that mozilla found, erroneusly, that ublok0 lite was spying on users someway, so removed the last update from the store for more investigations. After some days, the investigations have done and they admitted that was a falso-positive and that they was wrong.
I hate mozilla, but what have you written here is largerly false and bullshit.
because simplex is a protocol bootstrapped as a platform. Theres one implementation of every component (like platforms) and development has happened and continue to happen in a centralized way, with changes that are not suggested, discussed and implemented by multiple parties.
Its a protcol bootstrapped as a platform, developed as a platform, optimized as a platform. In the end, Its a platform very well documented.
We want protocol for decentralized DMs.
A protocol that interoperates with protocols, in particular use nostr keys as identities (not necessarly exposing metadata, but like in giftwrapping for example)
agree with you in some ways, and I frankly would migrate every chat to nostr based solutions with 0xchat. For me is more importat freedom than an abstract "security", and I'd happily abandon signal today if my chats friends would agree.
But still, its important to have secrecy on nostr and secret/really private chats.
For example, forward secrecy is something someone understimate unless copy paste the wrong key and leak chats from 3 years ago.
We need nip104, normies are not the target in this stage of development in my opinion.
Low-time preference tradeoffs need to be taken today, normie friendly clients that mix nip-44 and nip-104 in a convenient way will come one day.
Also and most important: in my opinion, every new development propsal and nip shouldnt have the goal of attract normies. Companies and clients should.
I think the reason because p2p fails is incentives. Everyone want to take, pretty noone want to give, and so pretty noone want to offer inbound connection to strangers.
Bitcoin is a strange creature with inbuilt incemtives that create a p2p that scale and works (even if the incentive to run nodes for others are weak, but pretty work in the end).

if only the fucking government wasnt here to kill free markets and offer monopolies and free-money-deals to energy companies we would see the opposite:

I invested a lot of time learning linux/bsd fine tuning my systems many times from ground-up. Now use daily my nerdy gentoo, compiling my kernel regularly with fine tuning for my machine, with only the feature that I use and extensive hardening and code-reduction. I compile my compilers regularly with security hardenings and stack protection, maintain my minimal fork of dwm for wayland and so on... In the end I builded the distro I wanted and didnt existed.
And I'm happy using it daily, the maintainance is all automated and really all works and dont need to loose time thinking too much everyday. The most of time/resources I loose are due to heavy long compilations, around 4 hours every mounth I think.
Things that require much more compile-time are GCC (~1:30h), glibc (~45mins), openssl (~45mins), linux kernel (~1h).
Pretty much this, maybe I'm missing something, but all other things compiles in max 30 mins, like python, go toolchain + rebuild all my go programs cause static libs, openssh...
I use binary for firefox and rust cause they are shit and dont want to compile. And because firefox would take at least ~3/4 hours.
I dont use GUIs, I dont need qt libs. I need just basic gtk gtk+ libs for basic things.
I use binary for monolithic heavy gui programs.
I also just put a binary when I need a jvm.
Thats it, I like it, I learned a lot diving into nerdy stuffs to make this thing works.
But today, if I will buy another machine and will need a new operating system, I'd absolutely go for a simple debian with some hardening and tweaks (like the kicksecure/whoonix approach).
Someone says "linux is free if you dont value your time" and this is half truth.
For the time and effort I put into this things I obtained in change a lot of experience and practice that I can use in other situations to makes machines work for me.
So I suggest anyone who want to learn more about these stuffs to go deeper, configure things manually, invest time in break things so then you can repair it. The value you can get from this approach is immense.
Then, at some point, real works need to be done, real things that makes life good require attention and life is too short to compile GCC forever just for the sake of.
So at some point you will know when is the moment to just go for things that works and have a "social convergence" of people. You will know when the "new time invested in deep nerding and auto-complicare your life" is not so valuable anymore in terms of "learning experience".
When this happens means its time to move on, keep what you learn with you and start nerding on other things, even other fields. Gardening this time? Nostr? Idk.
But after all I learned from my linux/bsd experience, today I'll go for debian as main os (or ubuntu/mint if my hardware need proprietary shit), where I dont need to think about nothing under the hood, knowing that is the standard.
And as all standard it is not perfect, nor the most secure, not the most fast and so on... but is reasonably good and a lot of people are thinking about how your system works for you, with you.
hi theres a problem in how 0xchat manages relays: when I modify my relay list on amethyst they are added with a "final slash" in the name. 0xchat doesnt recognize these relays and automatically adds the same relays but "without final slash", doubling the relays (I suspect is only a UI problem).
dms platforms are the worst. For security they are the most closed, no web client-agnostic access, no apis, give us phone number and stick in our walled garden.
I recognize how "good" signal is, someway is the platform I hate most and want to leave.
be aware if you want to do some illegal stuff from tor browser for android.
Every installation is recognized with an unique fingerprint. Consider it just a "at least it hides my ip" solution.
My opinion is that this is a limitation of the bad (and young) firefox for android.
